Add/Remove Begin Repeat

To add or remove a begin repeat barline in the first measure of a system

The Mensurstrich On/Off menu item changes the barline
format of the current measure (i.e. the measure that the Entry Cursor is on) between normal barlines
and mensurstrich barlines. Mensurstrich barlines are used in early music and are drawn between
the staves in a system but not through the staves themselves. Normally mensurstrich is only
used when barlines are set to draw through the entire system - if the barline is set to draw
on single staves, no barline will appear. If mensurstrich barlines are to be used throughout
the entire document, you should check the Use Mensurstrich item in the
Graphics tab of the NoteAbility Preferences panel.

Mensurstrich Barlines Off - - - Mensurstrich Barlines On

The Tick Barlines On/Off menu item changes the barline
format of the current measure (i.e. the measure that the Entry Cursor is on) between normal barlines
and tick barlines. Tick barlines consist of a small red mark just above the top line of the staff. Tick
barlines are useful in scores using timing rather than conventional measures. The example below shows a score
with tick barlines.

Notice that in the above example the first beat inset has been reduced to 0 so that all
beats are equally spaced.

The Add/Remove Begin Repeat menu item adds or removes a repeat sign at the
beginning of the measure. This is necessary in scores where the beginning of a repeat is the first measure in the
system. The position of the barline is fixed and cannot be adjusted.
